Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Added validation of custom filters, preventing users from adding filters that break element hiding (issue 491).
Fixed an issue where elements, which use a special URL and therefore aren’t blocked, are collapsed (issue 1613).
Improved and fixed some issues with the “Block element” dialog.
- Consider the style attribute as last resort, if otherwise no filter can be generated for the given element (issue 700).
- Generate element hiding filters instead of request blocking filters for elements using special URLs which can’t be blocked (issue 705).
- Use vertical scrollbars instead of wrapping long filter texts (issue 731).
- Fixed an issue where popup state wasn’t reset after closing the dialog (issue 1122).
- Fixed an error which prevented dragging the dialog to another position (issue 1516).
- Fixed insufficient escaping of CSS selectors, which broke some generated element hiding filters (issue 1527 and 1587).
- Mitigated side-effects on pages that respond to events of selected elements (issue 1603).
- Fixed: Overlays are injected for hidden elements (issue 1606).
- Fixed wrong z-index of injected overlays (issue 1607).
- Fixed an error caused by generating only a request blocking filter for an <object> element (issue 1609).
- Keep highlighting all selected elements until the dialog is closed (issue 1610).
- Fixed an issue where some elements weren’t removed immediately when the filter is saved (issue 1612).

Adapted workaround for Chrome bug causing some issues with Flash videos, for Chrome 40, Opera 27 and above (issue 1593).
Fixed: Options page isn’t opened correctly from an incognito window (issue 1268).
